Secretary's Message

Secretary Moore

In accordance with Florida Statutes we
present this year's annual report.
The mission of the Florida Department
of Corrections is to protect the public
and provide a safe and humane correctional
environment for offenders and
staff.

We provide educational and vocational
programs and services to inmates and
supervise offenders in the community at a level of security commensurate with
the danger they may present. We promote citizen safety and victim reparation.

This year, we are especially proud of the ways we have expanded our use of
technology to increase staff efficiency and maintain a safer prison environment.
Our department maintains the status of one of the premier corrections
agencies in the country.

The correctional system in Florida demonstrates justice and fairness, responds
to citizen concerns and strives to meet employee personal growth and professional
needs.

We strive for excellence with a highly trained, ethical and dynamic work force.
I am proud of the job we do.
